Schools - win an interactive workshop with BHF

British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is offering schools the chance to win an interactive workshop with a BHF-funded researcher to teach pupils about the importance of keeping their heart healthy.

Being physically active is important to improve overall health but many children and young people in the UK aren’t achieving the recommended target of 60 minutes of activity each day.

Encouraging children to be as active as possible can help maintain a healthy weight, increase energy levels and reduce their risk of developing heart and circulatory disease in the future.

Jessica Rose, Schools Programme Manager at the British Heart Foundation, said: Our fundraisers are easy to organise and come with lesson plans and enough skipping ropes and dodgeballs needed for a successful event. Not only will it raise money for the BHF’s life saving research into the fight against heart disease, but schools get to keep 20% of the money raised to buy new equipment."

To enter, all schools need to do is sign up to one of the BHF’s schools fundraisers, Jump Rope for Heart or Ultimate Dodgeball, before midnight on Tuesday 28 February by visiting:
